โœฑOn the other hand, a new photo of the attacker with a knife has surfaced. Two days after the incident, the incident took place at the actor's house in Bandra, Mumbai.

โ™‰The 54-year-old actor suffered multiple stab wounds, including on his neck and near the spine, in a brutal attack at his house in Bandra in the early hours of Thursday. He was rushed to Lilavati Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.

Here are the latest developments so far:

What Doctors Say

โ™ŽDoctors at the hospital said the actor, who has been shifted out of the ICU, is recovering well. He is walking and is on a normal diet. They said Khan is expected to be discharged in two to three days.

๊ง™"We are observing his progress, and he is doing excellently well according to our expectations. As per his progress, we have advised him to have bed rest, and if he is comfortable, then in two to three days we will discharge him," Dr. Nitin Dange, a neurosurgeon at Lilavati Hospital, had said on Friday, as quoted by PTI.

๐ŸฆนHe said a team of doctors checked on him and made him walk.

โ™ŒDr. Dange had said that Khan had three injuries, two on the hand and one on the right side of the neck. And the major part was at the back, which was in the spine.

๐Ÿ’ฎDoctors have removed the sharp object from the back and repaired the spinal injury, he had said.

Saifโ€™s Attacker Changed Clothes, Last Seen In Mumbaiโ€™s Bandra

๊ฆThe man who attacked Saif Ali Khan with a knife at his Mumbai residence early Thursday, January 16, was last spotted at Bandra station.

๐“ฐIn this new picture, which is a screengrab from CCTV footage, the attacker can be seen in a different set of clothes than he was seen wearing in the earlier pictures, reported India Today.

๐†An earlier visual of the attacker, a day after the incident, showed him wearing a blue shirt, as opposed to the black t-shirt he wore on the night he attacked the actor. Meanwhile, the attacker can be seen in a yellow t-shirt in the new picture.
